 +=== Interlude === 
 +//The alley was dark enough to shield the woman from unwanted notice, but her 
 +heart raced nevertheless.  She had always hated the city.  It reeked with the 
 +smell of humans.  It was noisy.  And despite being a few miles upriver from the 
 +bay, the cold sea was too close for comfort.  She longed for the safety of the 
 +marsh. Even more, she longed for the warmth of her homeland.// 
 + 
 +//But like many times before, she had to attend to business.  And that meant the 
 +city.// 
 + 
 +//The shopkeeper she was meeting was better adapted to this place -- his shape 
 +closer to human -- but even so, he was forced to keep to the alleys and wear 
 +concealing clothing.  How he managed to do it was a constant source of wonder 
 +and disgust.// 
 + 
 +//With a last look to ensure no humans noticed, she opened the door to the shop 
 +and stepped through -- latching it closed once she was inside.// 
 + 
 +//The keeper kept his shop warm.  Warm enough that she was able to relax, if 
 +only for a moment.  Behind his counter, he was slowly and carefully measuring a 
 +vial of red ink.  A variety of blades and piercing tools were laid out to the 
 +side.// 
 + 
 +//"About time," he hissed.  "You were supposed to be here an hour ago.  I am 
 +expecting a client soon -- so you will have to be quick."// 
 + 
 +//"I have received a vision," she began.// 
 + 
 +//The keeper stopped measuring and set the ink down.  "Praise to Sseth! Does it 
 +reveal our victory at last?"// 
 + 
 +//"No."  She lowered her head slightly, "It tells only of defeat."// 
 + 
 +//The shopkeeper stared.  His eyes locked on her.  His face expressionless.// 
 + 
 +//After a long, awkward silence, he asked softly, "What did it say?"// 
 + 
 +//"It was short and unclear.  It said:// 'The end of Sertrous begins when the 
 +two who are one breathe the Dragon's Breath.'" 
 + 
 +//He remained still and silent.  She waited.  Was he angry?  Was he relieved?// 
 + 
 +//"Well then," he finally replied.  "I guess we had better find these 'two' and 
 +stop them from breathing whatever it is they're not supposed to breathe."//
